Insights into the genomic landscape of MYD88 wild-type Waldenström macroglobulinemia
6 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Activating MYD88 mutations are present in 95% of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) patients, and trigger NF-κB through BTK and IRAK. The BTK inhibitor ibrutinib is active in MYD88-mutated (MYD88MUT) WM patients, but shows lower activity in MYD88 wild-type (MYD88WT) disease. MYD88WT patients also show shorter overall survival, and increased risk of disease transformation in some series. The genomic basis...
